Positively Coastal

A friend of mine from when I was in high school is having a baby boy -- his first child. I wanted to make him something special -- something I would love too. I am much better at girl quilts. I have five boys, and our house is filled with girly quilts. So I was a little worried about whether I had the necessary boyish fabrics to make the perfect quilt. I have to say, I feel successful. I LOVE this quilt.

I used the backing fabrics as my guide and just pulled fabrics from my stash in those colors. I could not be happier with the result.

I'm kind of wishing I had more of these fabrics so I could make a throw-sized one of these babies. I hope my friend and his wife like it. (Otherwise, I'll ask for it back . . . just kidding, mostly.)
